I am currently an English teacher from the US but want to join the Foreign Service in the future, and I'm trying to learn Arabic to help me out! Previously, I spent one year in Mexico, and before that, three years in Spain. I am not very keen on teaching English but I love traveling, so what can a girl do? I have a boyfriend from England who is working in Saudi so I have to deal with a long-distance relationship and it's stressful. But soon we'll be traveling again together.
I started to blog about my experiences in the middle east. Message me if you have any questions!
